Personally, it sounds like stress-related IBS to me. IBS causes multiple movements a day and the more you go, the stranger the movement.

Be sure to see a gastroenterologist to rule out cancer, but I think - and I am not a doctor - that colon cancer is unusual in someone your age. Could happen, true, but I would think it unlikely. Still, see a,good gastroenterologist - a specialist. Have a colonoscopy, they are not so bad these days.

Good luck.
